MOUNTAINS OF MANGLED FLESH
A Herd OF 5000 Texas Cattle Collide
With q Train.

Just as the west bound train had
reached a water tank half a mile west of
Pine Bluffs, a herd of 5000 Texas cattle
was observed grazing on the adjacent
prairie. The long horned animals gaxed
at the locomotive a and then with
one accord started toward the train at a
rapid gait. 1t was evident to the COWBOYS
in charge of the herd that a stampede was
imminent and they endeavored to stop the
mad rush of the thoroughly crazed ami
mails. The engineer also reached the
same conclusion aud crowded on the steam
in the effort to pass the herd before n col
lision should occur.
In this he failed, however, and a mo
ment later there was a terrific shock that
shook the train from end to end and the
quivering flesh OF frightened cattle was
being ground to pulp under the wheels of
the locomotive. The cowcatcher itself
worked terrific execution in plungipg
through the huge masses of cattle that
we're p~romiscuously piled along the track.
The locomotive was reversed as quickly
as possible, when a sickening sight met
the gaze of the passengers. Dead and
dying cattle lay strewn along the track,
manned and mangled. Many with legs
partly or wholly torn off made desperate
efforts to get away while the hundreds un
hurt, with tails curling in the breeze,
were scattering to all points of the com.
pass.
AS soon as the train had been brought
to a standstill a number of the passengers
who were armed with revolvers performed
acts of mercy by killing crippled animals.
The number of cattle killed was fifty sew
en-. The locomotive, strange to say, was

damaged. Removal of the carcasses ne

TERRIBLE FIRE IN LONDON.
1000 Persons Homeless.

MILWAUKEE, June 27.-Flre- almost
swept the town Of Marshield out of exist
ence this afternoon, and 1000 people are
homeless. The loss is not less than 81
000.00O. All communication by wire is
cut off and it is almost impossible to learn
particulars. A locomotive spark started
the blaze at 1907 in the lumber yard OF
the Upham furniture factory and rapidly
DEVELOPED into a roaring FIRE that spread
toward the town. Insufficient fire protec-
ton facilities prevented aay resistance 10
the flames and o several Furnishing
factories and business blocks a.ong the
main street and adjoining residences were
wrapped in flames. The people gathered
such household effects as they could and
fed to the woods. The heat was 50 in
tense that $500 feet of the Wisconsin
Central track which runs through the
town was bent and twisted into a most
grotesque shape.
Specials from Stephens Point and
Chippewa Falls conveyed fire engines to
the place, but the fire was beyond control.
But one store and a few halt burned
housee remain OF the Furnishing town.
Many people were transferred by the
specials to the ~neighboring towns and
others camped on the outskirts Of town.
1t is impossible to obtain detailed partic-
ulars of the fire to night.
Most ofthe people are being housed for
the night under wagons, rudely construct
ed sheds, blankets and such household
furniture piled up as is saved. The scene
is a pltiablc one. Wearied men an de
pressed women are watching the remnant
of their homes and possessions promiscu
ously scattered around in the surrounding
woods, which are lit up to night by the
glow that comes from the still burning
mass that covered acres and represented
thriving villages. SO rapid was the
spread of the fire that comparatively
little was saved.

preaching the cabin they were fired upon
